Sabine Devieilhe sings ‘O zittre nicht, mein lieber Sohn’

An impressive spectrum of emotional registers, coloraturas at breakneck speed and a stratospherically high F. Mozart really did go all out for the Queen of the Night’s entrance in Die Zauberflöte. Her grand aria ‘O zittre nicht, mein lieber Sohn” is a technical challenge unlike any other. In our 2018 production, Soprano Sabine Devieilhe gave everyone goosebumps with this soul-wrenching mother’s lament. She will soon take the stage at La Monnaie again for a recital dedicated to French mélodies.

Is no one noticing how absolutely gorgeous her costume is? It looks so majestic, especially for a character like the Queen of the Night.

[@pepamicro]

You should see her costume for her second aria, poor thing. The Queen of the night with a black T-shirt and trousers, moving furniture. Very strange production.

Mozart has got that charming character of himself to be noticed every piece of his own music even when the listener doesnt really know if it is his music !

[@lucierthewhiteswan]

In addition to the wonderful melody and the sweet and beautiful voice... This is the most beautiful dress that a Queen of the Night has ever worn in a performance of "Die Zauberflöte" Simply Magnificent!!! Sabine Shined in this performance!!! 🤍🌙

Absolutely incredible. Sabine is simply out of this world.

Oh, you should really listen to some old renditions of the aria...

You should listen to a soprano who can properly trill and is a dramatic coloratura

[@stal1ng]

@@crazyorganist1609 like who, for instance?

[@AllenFigueredo5]

How beautiful, it sounds amazing to me, I love her personality and how she tackled this virtuous aria, despite the high degree of constriction, and almost inexistent trills.

Sublime. Perfection. For all eternity.

[@joshsilvajr1227]

"It is my profound conviction that Mozart is the highest, the culminating point which beauty has reached in the sphere of music. Nobody has made me cry and thrill with joy, sensing my proximity to something that we call the ideal, in the way that he has…" (Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky) I feel the same way. ❤

Are you a native German speaker? I was wondering who you are comparing her to. I am actually a German mother tongue and I had absolutely no difficulty whatsoever understanding her German. I think also that her work on the line is so outstanding, that the message is conveyed by all the other means Mozart and his librettist intended.

[@elmaestro91]

@@hannagarcialanda4167 I am not. As I mentioned previously, it's not just about being understood. There's a certain style of diction used on the opera stage. The main culprits are her -ch/ig and -hr sounds. Perfectly fine for speaking in some regions but not used that way on the stage.
